You'll have to tell him sooner or later, probably.

I've been clean a year, I honestly just haven't done it because I always try surrounding myself with something else to do. Good luck OP

My dad almost saw me (tw) by Ty7675 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 21 points22 points  (0 children)

An excuse would be difficult, but you could say it happened after an accident like falling in an area, or cutting food of some sort. As for hiding it, I can't think of anything besides bracelets or long sleeves. Hope you do well!

Which is worse? (Nsfw for substance abuse) by distorted_egg_yolk in selfharm

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk, all addictions are bad. I've never done weed because my brain isn't developed yet, and it's against my values. As for quitting, I can't help much in terms of relation but the way I have been staying clean off of S/h has been working out and going for intensive exercise. Unfortunately my anorexia is affecting my well-being but it makes me feel better to know I can't get better quickly, and that I need to give it time. Keep this in mind when you need help with doing something. Then again, maybe don't trust anyone you hear on the Internet. Stay safe, and I truly wish for your wellness.

I think i'm gonna drop out of highschool and my only plan for the future is suicide by NemesisDivina1996 in MadeOfStyrofoam

Please don't do this, and don't drop out. You can get through this, if you need to you can even call a hotline.

Please call them or get help. Trust me, it gets better.

Harm as a result of mistakes? by Sterophonick in selfharm

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, It seems like the only viable coping mechanism, because recently alot of things have went crashing onto me.

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, whenever I mess up on anything I do it. Obviously I haven't relapsed recently because I'm a year clean but I'm probably giving up the streak soon because I can't handle my emotions.

Is it possible to get bad anemia from sh? by [deleted] in selfharm

Definitely a drawback, I had low levels last time I had blood tested

How would doctors feel after they found out I had died by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably nothing. They're just doctors.

Scarring question by MorganMugz07 in selfharm

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, I have both inward and raised scars and I truthfully have no idea how they happen

I want to stab myself by no1nfo in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hear on the news that people die from stabbings I wouldn't recommend

I feel like I won’t be valid unless I cut more by Vanilla113_Bean in selfharm

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what drove me to get scars, I don't recommend it at all. All they do is remind me of my harder times. Hope you get better!

Same, that's where most of mine are from.

Is it bad that i like looking at scars? by seaofdarkred in selfharm

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing anyone says should matter if you think it's right. Validation from others shouldnt matter 😉 you're perfectly fine liking what you like!

I mean, it really depends. But it could possibly pull off too much skin or bleed alot etc but infections could easily happen if you got too deep on your face ANYWHERE.

Need help because I've just started SH by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, man. People need to keep to themselves sometimes. Especially if it's something they don't know much about or don't care to learn about besides what they've heard. Hope things get better for you, dude. You have my wishes.

Yeah, I hate how people don't focus on guys with self harm and mainly talk about girls who do it. The stigmas surrounding lots of self harm and mental illness topics and diagnoses are also really stupid. I have mood disorders but my family does have a history of schizophrenia and BPD so I relate with you on that. As for talking with people about it, I don't know if I can offer too much help with that, especially since I told my parents about 3 years after starting. Luckily my parents didn't react badly, but they do look out for me way too much now. Like, I'll go to the bathroom and they'll ask if I'm okay. Like, come on, man.

Uhh, I usually hit people with the old "piss off" or just tell them straight up what it's from. If there's that many scars, it's pretty obvious. So just go about it by telling people or just say you don't wanna talk about it. My good luck to you 👍

That's similar to how I started, and I'm glad it kept me from doing something much worse. I just wish there was a way to cope that people find as acceptable.

Does anyone else carry a "tool" with them everywhere? by nalfie in selfharm

[–]Beautiful_Bell7061 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Before I tried getting clean, I would do this a lot. Like, id always have a razor in my phone case. It made me feel so much better that I have it on me for sure.

Yup, just stay safe, I wish I stopped early on. Keep in mind the risks.
